All staff: Raquel on reception was simply adorable, Ana also..the guys at the Concierge, helping us with our restaurant bookings and the parking of the car. The cleaning staff, although we never saw them, their presence was undoubtedly there. Location, very accessible. Close to all major attractions. Great room. Even though we were facing the construction.
